WHAT is up everyone,

We have a large new quantity of amazing Lenovo laptops at some seriously good prices during EOFYs! The Lenovo T460s series is a 14' FHD (IPS) screen with a slim design that makes for amazing home, work or study laptops! SSD upgrades are also available to create your ideal laptop. We're not doing Ram upgrades as it has 4gb soldered in so adding the extra 8GB gives you 12GB, but if you all are keen on it, we can add the option. we also have stock of the T470s with a slightly better CPU and with thunderbolt connection still under $300 as an option with upgrades available.

1 year warranty on all our refurb products plus power adapter included. Click and collect is available from our Yarraville, Melbourne 3013 warehouse.

    This is a pretty good deal, especially when you consider that it has two SO-DIMM slots and the SSD and RAM are both easily user-accessible: it's an older CPU, but even in 2022 Skylake can still hold its own when paired to 32gb of RAM. Getting this and then spending another 200 bucks on a ram upgrade and bigger SSD would land you a fairly decent every day use laptop that would definitely hold its own, against other sub-500 dollar new laptops (with the exception of battery life, unfortunately), plus you'd have the benefit that comes with Thinkpad's high quality.

      Skylake can still hold its own when paired to 32gb of RAM

      What are you smoking mate? This laptop's 7 year old dual core CPU will be a bottleneck well before 16GB RAM is used, let alone 32GB.

      It's a bargain for light browsing, watching videos and basic office use as it is.

      If you want any more than that, you would be better off getting one with a better CPU before wasting any money on RAM.

      • TheRealCJ on 18/06/2022 - 09:32
        +2

        Sure, if you compare it to a high end CPU, but if you bought this and compared it to a modern sub-400 dollar laptop? It would absolutely hold its own.

        Do you honestly think this is going to be worse than something running a Celeron? Hell no. One 16gb SO-DIMM would still make this both cheaper than a basic Celeron laptop, and able to smoke said Celeron.

        • Ryballs on 18/06/2022 - 10:12

          Bottom line is a dual core laptop isn't going to "hold its own" in 2022 for anything but the lightest use regardless of RAM. Have you used one recently? It's not fun.

          • TheRealCJ on 18/06/2022 - 10:21

            @Ryballs: I mean… duh? Who is buying a 280 dollar laptop for anything but light use?

            Temper your expectations, my dude. Nobody is saying it's going to blaze past a brand new XPS 15.

    • TheRealCJ on 17/06/2022 - 18:48
      +5

      Just buy some ram and upgrade it yourself. These have user accessible RAM slots, you just take off the back panel (which is held down with screws) and you can access the ram without any further tools.

      • bargaino on 18/06/2022 - 16:08

        One slot. The other 4GB is soldered. Still, better than the Surface, with zero slots.

    I have a t470 with dual core cpu and 12gb ram as my work laptop which is about to be replaced. It does not perform well enough to handle longer large MS Teams meetings while presenting. Also the battery life is poor. Dual batteries where the first dies in 20 minutes and the laptop reboots and gets about 30 minutes on the second battery.

    Otherwise it’s okay as a general use laptop.

      I've got a spectre with the 6300u and 8gb ram. 1080p60 is the max it'll play on youtube. Soon as you take it to 1440p or 4k it's stutter town and dropped frames. Edge is a little better for 1440p but still some dropped frames, no way it can handle 4k videos though.

  • avan1976 on 17/06/2022 - 18:59

    I got one of these second-hand for $400 at the start of the year (but with 256GB HD and touch screen).
    I got it for my son for high school and think it was a great deal.
    Tough as nails with a great keyboard. The screen is decent too. Full HD and anti-glare, which was somewhat rare for ex-corporate machines in this price range (at least when I did my research).
    The dual batteries still hold charge for 4-5 hours (but this will differ greatly between machines, you'd imagine). Also, you can buy replacement batteries (including larger capacity versions) on ebay pretty easily. The big ones give you around 12 hours of battery life from memory.
    The main limitation is the internal graphics, which is showing its age. But that suited my purposes because I didn't want my son playing 3D games in class :)

        • amaslam on 18/06/2022 - 14:57

          Win11 can be installed on CPUs older than 8th Gen Intel CPUs. However MS will not 'officially support' it, meaning one day they might just not put patches out or a patch they push out breaks Win11.

          If you're OK with that kind of risk (it's a low risk currently) then I've got Win11 working on 3rd Gen Intel Lenovo (E531 from 2011/2012 era with Core I7-3632QM, 16 GB RAM and SSD). It's stable and patching fine. Use it for a Youtube/Netflix laptop and also have multi-boot of Win10 Pro and Win 7 Ultimate (because I could, no special reason).

          • pointnlarf on 18/06/2022 - 15:31

            @amaslam: Wondering if there is a win10pro option

            • amaslam on 20/06/2022 - 10:44

              @pointnlarf: Win 10 Pro will install with no issues if that's what you're asking (only Win11 runs this min CPU check during install, but many steps and guides on the net to bypass the check and install normally). Win 10 Pro runs on many older laptops than this (I got it to recently run on a MSI Wind U100 netbook with 2 GB RAM, just to see if it works, it wasn't fast but it booted up with all the hardware detected).

  • deejeta on 18/06/2022 - 09:54

    Thinkpads are like a pre-dpf Hilux. Ever reliable and last as long as the driver.

    I've got several running Thinkpad workhorses. Am typing this one a Carbon X1 right now, & my oldest in use being a T61 that purrs along (linux box) and is 15yrs old (arguably still has the best keyboard of any laptop ever btw).

    That being said Lenovo's consumer stuff (i.e. non-Thinkpad tier) is garb.

    Everything went down hill since the Lenovo T410 (2010 era) which was the last golden ratio 16:10 screen 14" laptop, but since there is no budget 16:10 option any more, these T460s and T470s are the next best choice if you are on a budget.

    If you will indulge me for a minute, I will explain why these machines are still the two best 14" premium (now budget) laptops made between 2010 - 2020, aesthetically speaking, by looking across Lenovo's premium slim product line, for the last decade.

    If you want perfection NEW - you have to go for an x1 carbon as it took 10 years for engineers to finally go back to 16:10 screens with the x1 gen 9

    The new upward firing speakers across recent models are gross, they get full of gunk and your laptop ends up looking disgusting. The air vent in every model since the T470s onward all blow hot air out on your right mouse hand, so just forget about the T480s (unless you are a leftie) and from the T490s onward now including the T14s and T14s gen 2, they all have soldered ram, in addition to the annoying RHS air vent, so are all poorly engineered laptops if you strive for design perfection… the newer carbons are the only way to go if you have real money to spend, rear firing air vents, only downside is soldered ram but if you can afford a carbon you go 32gb. Simple.

    Now, at THIS budget price point, the T460s is an amazing machine, near perfect, until the T470s added usb-c … making the T470s the best aesthetically designed 14" laptop under $2000, both have upgradeable ram and every port, plug, socket, air vent was put in the correct place. No annoyances, zero design flaws.

    I know a bit about lenovos having owned many over decades, either the T460s or ideally T470s is the sort of machine you will remember for your lifetime as an exceptionally designed laptop in every way. Something this perfect only comes along once every decade. Buy one of these on a budget, you won't regret it. To maintain perfection, consider upgrading it in a few years to a used x1 gen 9 :)

    And remember, there is a reason Lenovo's are used on the Space Station ;) Nothing beats a Lenovo.

      Glancing at UserBenchmark I think the Optiplex will be about even with the Lenovo. I'd favour the Optiplex because it is 4C/8T with higher clock speeds and the Lenovo is 2C/4T. For the work from home I'll say the Lenovo will probably get CPU bottlenecked.

      The Optiplex CPU is from 2013 and the Lenovo from 2015.

  • Grazz989 on 20/06/2022 - 05:46

    1. It's an old dual core - Those are very slow by today's standards. Likewise the integrated graphics processor. It'll probably struggle with e.g. larger zoom calls, or at least any with multiple video users.

    2. It has 4GB of RAM soldered in, and 8GB slotted in. That means it's only single-channel RAM (i.e. the memory is roughly half the speed, as in bandwidth, of most laptops with fully soldered memory or with two slots both populated).

    3. As an old used laptop, you can be sure that the battery life is ruined and it won't be worth replacing the battery.

    It's fine to give as a first laptop for a child who you don't want to be able to game on … Or if you just need to web browse near a power point. I wouldn't buy it for uni because the battery life will be too poor to take notes for more than a single 1hr lecture, and I wouldn't buy it for proper work tasks if you can afford something better, because it's a 14" screen, definitely cramped - You want something you can comfortably run two windows side-by-side on, at minimum 15.6". A compact, portable laptop that will die quickly if used away from a powerpoint only fits rather niche use cases.
